Taylor

6-foot, 185-pound, strong, physical athletic frame. A well proportioned athlete, hands, wrists and legs all have good strength to them. One of the better players at this event, top tool is his raw power and overall athleticism. A right-handed hitter, the baseball absolutely jumps off his bat. The stance is slightly wider, than shoulder width, hands are loose at shoulder height, bat starts is a flat position. The lower half is under control, uses a small leg kick, hands and weight get and stay back. The swing is free and easy through the zone, it’s level to up, rolls the hands late, and finishes with two hands. During batting practice deposited baseballs over the fence with ease. Collected two singles and made good hard contact in other at bats during game play. The tee exit velocity was at 92 mph and ran a 4.50. Defensively, throws well from the outfield, arm was clocked at 84 mph, throws are downhill. The arm action is slightly longer on the back, arm works out of a higher slot. The routes and angles are advanced, gets good reads and jumps on the baseball. Off the mound, fastball was clocked at 78-81 mph, threw 40 pitches the night before this event. The breaking ball was 64-66 mph, and changeup was 71-72 mph. The fastball is located to both sides. The delivery, is sound and simple, stays over the rubber, works downhill and shows the ability to repeat it. Projects fro me as more of an outfielder, look for him to hit and hit with power at the next level.
